Rolls-Royce says it has made progress in understanding the cause of the engine failure that led Qantas to ground its fleet of Airbus A380s. "It is now clear this incident is specific to the Trent 900 engine," the firm said in a statement, referring to the model of engine in the Qantas A380s.
Rolls-Royce said a "series of checks and inspections" had been agreed with Airbus operators of the Trent 900 powered A380 and relevant authorities. "These are being progressively completed which is allowing a resumption of operation of aircraft in full compliance with all safety standards," the firm reported.
Rolls-Royce's statement follows the unexplained blast which sent parts of an engine raining down on an Indonesian island soon after flight QF32 took off from Singapore last week.
